Thread: Fakes And Irritant

  1. #1
    F to all those who rename files and provide fake copies to up their participation level.

    Here's a short list I have compiled that are fakes.
    Most of them are 700+mb mimicking the divx file size
    Most of them are the movie "half baked" instead of the real thing


    Triple X [XXX][DIVX][Full].avi
    Triple X [XXX].avi
    Triple x.vin disel.divx.avi

    Tears of the sun (DVD)(DIVX).avi
    Tears of the sun.divx.avi
    Tears of the sun.mpg
    this is esp bad bec up to 25 chaps can be d/l the fake file


    The Recruit-Movie.avi
    The Recruit(1).avi


    Here's my way of checking before complete download.
    1. Use datview to create a mpeg file before complete d/l
    2. Usually after 5-10% d/l of dat file, a short movie can be created.
    3. Use virtual dub to recreate missing bits in the avi file
    4. View the file


    Hope some decent chaps out there can add to the list of fakes

    What version of K-Lite are you using? The lastest K++ includes AVI-Preview, which can open the dat file directly for viewing while DL.
